Earle Wicke. popular life guard

all right. save a little tired. but the

litter brothers and had begun to

ing. The party is expected to arrive
in this city late tomorrow afternoon.
Self Defense Claimed. ";
An effort will be made by ‘the do.
fensc to produce evidence that Pa-
dula shot Clementi in self defeats“
The net work of defense was start ‘
yesterday by Paduia's family and » .53
Judge John Keogh who will probib- .
ly represent Padula when he is
brought before the courts. The de-
fense has hinted that they will pro-
duce evidence that will show that
Clementi was armed during the fight
with Padula and that after he was
shot. the weapons that he had were
taken from him by someone. '
When Clementi vies ken is t .
hospital after the shoe us he dd
not have .a gun or knife on his per-
son. but he was taken there before
the pplice ll‘l‘ii ed on the scene and
there was ample opportunity foe
anyone to remOve any weapons that
he might‘ have used. In setting
up a. plea of self defense the de-
fense intends to bring out the fact
that Clementi might have had n his
vicinity during the fight and shortly
after the shooting and that they
could have concealed any weapons
that Clementi might have on his
person.-
The defense also claims out the
point that some of those present
were very close friends of Clementi
and that they would endeavor ~to
cover him up. It is pointed out that
it would have been an easy matter
to pick ups knife or gun during
the excitement and conceal it.
Padula's case will probably be put
before the state authorities before
the case comes into court and they
will be asked to conduct an investi-
gation and try and locate another
gun or llnlfe that was used in the
quarrel between Padilla and Cle-
menti. .
Other Arrests Likely. ' '
Other arrests will probably
be made by the state as
soon as the' officers and their
prisoners return from Canada. -
Chief of Police William R. Penning-
ton stated this morning that the poo
lice would not end their ‘work
with the capture of Paduia. but
would conduct the investigation fur-
ther as thoyvfelt there was more .to
it than had already been brought
outr . ~
'There is a possibility that the im-
pel-tent witnesses may be all taken
into custody by the police and held
under heavy bonds as material wit-
nesses to safeguard any chance of
,their leaving this sectionof the.-
country.
The local authorities are inesti-
geting the action of Mary Di Poole
and Clementi in living as man and
wife in the house next door to that .u
occupied by the Poets womans ’
husband It is felt by the pogoe that
’tlle relations between Clem oil and
